In this article, we consider the problem of the correlation of artistic and journalistic materials in the structure of the magazine «Sovremennik», where the novel by N.G. Chernyshevsky «What Is to Be Done?» was published from January to May 1863. The aim of the article is to analyze the literary, critical and journalistic materials published in the magazine and to show that the very fact of the novel's publication, its social and philosophical pathos reflected the magazine's ideological program. It follows from our analysis that Chernyshevsky’s novel «What Is to Be Done?» published in the magazine marked a new vector in the development of democratic fiction literature and contributed to restoring the magazine's readership after the eight-month closure of the «Sovremennik».
